Life Is Living Art

October 1, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Life is a beautiful thing once we surrender and learn who is truly in control. For in the hand of the Lord there is shaping and molding that will correct us when we get out of line and then once we learn how to act within the hands of the true artist then there is a peace that can’t be explained.

 So many times in life we spin out of control because we neglect the hands of thy Father in Heaven above. But when we step back in, we can see how His hands are as gentle as a dove.

 Each individual carries his or her own living art and it is our purpose to work together as one while respecting each person for who they are  under God. This objective has never changed from the very start, and it is vital that we teach our children this life lesson before it is our time to part.

It is my prayer that every individual under God realizes how special they are and that all things are possible within the hands of the true artist in life that is being painted through the love of Jesus Christ…amen

The Art of Spiritual War

August 12, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 If the Lord was to reveal to us our future steps then He would be revealing His plans to the enemy. It is our job to walk in faith and trust in God for every step that He gives. Many people in the carnal mind can’t understand this because we are not the enemy but we are still in the flesh. We must recall that Satan knows our weaknesses and when we open the door to worry and doubts then we are only giving Satan the tools to destroy what we know to be true. Why do we need to know how we are going to make it in this world when we have already made it to the next? Just walk on while standing on the Truth and applying it to your steps in life with Jesus Christ…   

 We never know how things are going to work out or what we may go through in life but one fact is this, ” Until we learn to trust God and not man, history will only repeat itself.”

Spiritual Demons That Dwell Within

August 8, 2009 by admin 1 Comment

 In life there are two parts being one physical and the other spiritual. On the spiritual level it never stops while the physical has its limitations. The Lord has revealed to me this understanding in how we are infected with spiritual demons that are passed from one generation to the next. Many of us at times face different spiritual demons in our life that lead us to destruction in many ways. Some of the demons that dwell within us can be obvious while others can be so disquised that we can’t recognize them until it is too late.

 Some demons of Satan are of power, some are of lust, some are of hatred, some are of selfishness, some are of pride, some are of envy, some are of greed, and there are many others that lead us to destruction. Everyone faces spiritual temptations in this physical life but it is what we do with these temptations that determine the path that we take on. It is so easy to fall to sinful desires because it is part of our human nature and this is why the Word of God is so critical to understand and to follow through the love of Jesus Christ.

 Until we learn to look at ourselves in the mirror of God and face what we carry inside by realizing that there is much more to life than what we see then our lives only go in circles in the wilderness of this fallen world because we never face the truth that sets us free…

 I am here to tell you that Heaven and Hell are real and I pray to God that every lost soul returns to the truth. It is easy to get lost at times and try everything we can to find our way back home in the darkness of this world but there comes a point when we must just stop and listen to hear the call that needs to be heard in helping us return to the path that we were once on….amen

Spiritual Deception of Satan

August 1, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

  If people can’t see what is taking place in America and around the world then they need to Wake Up before it is too late!!! Over the past 40 years many of our churches have drifted away from the truth in the Word of God and forgotten how to stand strong in faith while learning to grow in their personal relationship with the Lord our Savior. The church is a place for fellowship and instruction to help us mature in the will of God and to help others along the way. But so many have forgotten the meaning of how to love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind. And to love your neighbor as yourself.

 So many churches have fallen to social clubs while others have fallen as the Jews did to the Gentiles in trying to keep what they think they know to themselves without sharing it with the sinners that are in need. It breaks my heart to see people in the church that claim to be a Christian but show something totally different in their daily walk from their homes, from their work, and even how they act in the church. This is what has hurt the overall church body over the last 40 years in such a way that it has pushed others away from the church while causing our children to become lost in this world. This has also caused our issues here in America because we have forgotten how to stand on the truth without falling tolerant to what is not right by God.  

 There isn’t a soul on this earth that doesn’t feel pressured at times in causing them to walk right on by the work that really needs to be done or helping someone that may be in need. There are times for quick decisions in life threatening situations but never when we we have the time to truly evaluate the situation. Our world has fallen into the deception of Satan in such a way of thinking that we don’t have the time to share or do what really needs to be done. Satan knows our weaknesses and he knows if we feel pressured that we will make shallow decisions that will eventually come back to haunt us or even destroy us in due time. When we feel pressured for time this robbs us of the true joys in life while neglecting the purpose of time that builds things that will last from our relationships, our companies, our churches, and even our nation. Time is a beautiful thing when we stop and listen but far too often we fall to our pressures in life or to temptations of the flesh instead of building something on the foundation of God that will stand forever on the rock that will not fail.

 It is time that we all stop to refocus our lives back on our foundation and really recognize the spirit that is guiding the steps of our future. Our churches need to recall that the church is a place for the sinner and a place to get filled for the work that we have ahead of us. The lives we are given are our mission fields and it is our duty under God to walk with Him and hold True to His Word while sharing the blessings of God in our lives with everyone that we come in contact with. This life is not supposed to be about us but to give us a glimpse of what we can have in Heaven when we have true love in the family of God while learning how to build something that will last with the time which we are given. 

 It is my prayer that we all Wake Up to the truth before it is too late. Because there is a Heaven and a Hell and if we don’t know where we are going then we need to recognize the path we are on!

 Oh Lord, have mercy on us for we have fallen so far in selfish desires of the flesh. We know you have all power and can do all things and Lord I ask for the sake of our children and yours to forgive us once again in your mercy and grace in order to help those that are lost and to reveal your glory…amen

A Good Shepherd Does Not Limit His Flock

June 9, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

A good shepherd does not limit his flock to only one field due to concerns of losing his herd. He learns to respect each individual for who they are under God while teaching them how to grow to their full potential . As they mature he watches from a distance as the flock learns to live in the freedom of the spirit by understanding the discipline in the Word of God to  live a full life led by God without being restricted by man.  He is not to let one in his flock wander off without looking for them to show them the way back home while searching for others that may be lost from other herds in the wilderness of this world.  He does not force them to return or condemn them when they may get lost.  But he welcomes them with open arms full of love as the others rejoice when another rejoins the flock in the field of true fellowship.

 When a shepherd limits his flock to one field without moving them from one field to the next then the field which they are stuck in becomes restricted and even loses nutrients over time. In restricting the flock it causes some to jump fence, others to wander off, and even some to starve by not not learning how to live and move in this fallen world.  There is great joy when we learn to graze and respect our position under God but even more so when we hear that call of the shepherd to come home…Amen

Spiritual Revelations

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
